With three dozen films in total, directors from thirty countries on six continents are participating.  The first program, christened “Heartstrings,” screens at 2:30 pm and 7:00 pm. Evenly split between live-action and animation, it explores themes of transcending society’s limited expectations, enduring loss of loved ones, and ultimately finding one’s way in the world.  The second program, called “Headtrip,” screens at 4:30 pm and 9:00 pm. Containing mostly animation, it features mundane settings that spiral out of control, malicious plots that inevitably backfire, and worlds within worlds where nothing is as it seems. The competitive international film event includes audience voting for both programs, and DJ Madame B will be mixing soundscapes between and after screenings, with AS220’s FOO(D) next door open for a dinner break and drinks between screening sets. Tickets are available at the door for $10 per screening or online for $15 including both screenings.  Jounce-A-Thon for Adoption RI https://www.facebook.com/events/323210101837512/ Wicked Family Friendly This weeks “Wicked Family Friendly” Event is: Sesame Street Live - Vets Auditorium https://www.facebook.com/events/1035487796625808/

The tours will showcase the seasonal evolution of The Avenue Gardens, telling an ongoing story of nature’s place in an urban ecosystem. Jessyloo will teach you about the plants, as well as the functionality of the gardens, which help divert rainwater, filter pollutants, and provide a place for various pollinators (bees, birds, etc.) to visit throughout the growing season. ABOUT THE AVENUE GARDENS: The Avenue Gardens are perennial gardens planted with native & pollinator-friendly species. Each garden contains a permanent concrete sculpture pad that displays a rotating series of works by local, national, and international artists. In essence, each garden functions as a mini-sculpture park, bringing a burst of nature, color, and creativity to an otherwise hardscaped urban environment. The gardens are located at LaSalle Square, Emmett Square, and the intersection of Fountain and Dorrance Streets. Sunday, September 30, 2018 New this year!
